Rain moving into Chicago area

June 25, 2011|Staff report

A broad patch of rain with a few thunderstorms was headed into the Chicago area this evening, with showers possible for the rest of the weekend as temperatures climb.

Early this evening radar showed the showers spreading throughout most of northeastern Illinois, although the heavier rain and possible thunderstorms looked like they would remain south and west of Chicago.

Temperatures were expected to be higher on Sunday and turn very hot and muggy Monday, with a chance of rain or storms popping up at any time.
